Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of copper-clad ceramic substrate production, and particularly relates to a jig for double-sided sintering of multiple groups of copper-clad ceramic substrates. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of electronic technology, in the packaging applications of power electronic components, ceramic substrates not only perform functions such as electrical connection and mechanical support, but are also important channels for heat transfer. Ceramic substrates are commonly used materials in power modules, with special thermal, mechanical and electrical properties, and are ideal choices for demanding power electronics applications.

[0003] Along with the revolution and progress of global electronic technology, electronic technology is developing towards high integration and miniaturization, with higher requirements for the performance of substrates. Traditional substrates can no longer meet the requirements of high power and high heat dissipation of semiconductor modules. Copper-clad ceramic substrates (DBC substrates) have become key basic materials in power electronic devices due to their significant characteristics such as good thermal conductivity, high reliability, strong insulation, and low thermal expansion coefficient. The DBC process is the surface metallization of ceramic substrates. Specifically, copper foil is covered on the ceramic substrate and sintered at 1065 - 1083 °C. Copper and oxygen form a Cu-O eutectic liquid, and this eutectic liquid phase wets the surfaces of the copper foil and the alumina ceramic substrate, and a eutectic reaction occurs to generate composite oxides such as Cu(AlO2)2 or Cu(AlO2), realizing the bonding of the alumina ceramic substrate and the copper foil.

[0004] Direct copper-clad sintering technology performs copper-ceramic bonding at high temperature and in an atmosphere with a specific oxygen content in a sintering furnace. Since the conveying method is alloy mesh belt conveying, and it is necessary to ensure that copper and ceramics do not come into contact with the mesh belt during the process, a jig that plays a role in support and maintaining horizontal is required to effectively isolate the products and the mesh belt, and at the same time prevent abnormalities such as peeling strength and warping during the process. Currently, generally, pads with slopes are positioned on the jig bottom plate, and the contact method is line contact. When sintering both sides, it is impossible to ensure sufficient horizontality, further resulting in abnormalities such as misalignment and warping. Summary of the Utility Model
